A single sheet of paper is found tacked to the Lieutenant's door.

Lieutenant Mirabelle Bonnet,

My name is Alain Merrick and I am a physician in the medical department of Third Division. For the past five years, I have toiled away in relative obscurity. In fact, it would not surprise me if you were unable to place a face to the name. You see, it has always been my preference to distance myself from the everyday minutiae which has a way of eroding efficiency and common sense. Regrettably however, the Seireitei Plague has seen fit to give me a more public face. While this unwelcome change would not normally be a problem, the current state of affairs has led to negative scrutiny of my brethren and I which we find undeserved and unacceptable.

When the plague began, who did our people turn to? Us, the medical staff. When a cure was not forthcoming, who did they blame? Us, the medical staff. Now, as our dead mount and tensions are at their peak, who looks out for Us? No one. We are members of a Captain-less division, rudderless, on a sinking ship. Ill-equipped to deal with the situation in which we find ourselves, we must ask how it happened. Was it a lack of strength? A lack of vision? Perhaps an issue of mindset? I say all three. Fortunately, we need not be restrained by these failings any longer. I will place us on the proper path. I have the strength to protect us as well as the intelligence and wisdom to prevent future tragedies. Most importantly, I am rooted in the medical arts. At a time when we suffer from the enemy called disease, who would be better to lead us. Thus, I ask you to stand aside. Otherwise, while distasteful, I shall take the position.

I haven't verified this myself, but I heard there was even shit as recently as him threatening to bring in Hazumi to deal with people who don't like Otto. Nothing forces you to pay attention like a "If you ignore or go against my my prestige level Shinigami gon' attack you." statement.

So, I have no idea when I was promoted to Lieutenant since my thread with Kris never finished but like I've already told Alain in DMs neither I, as her writer, or her, as a character, would want to give up the titles she has. However, I will because even if I wanted to fight it there would be no contest. He's free to take the titles after the threads I've started post-skip have ended.

At some point, if a person says they don't want a thing enough I think we have to take them at their word. Alain, you are free to start referring to yourself as the LT; I'll update the roster. The IC record will reflect Mirabelle's voluntary abdication upon being challenged.
